Discord is good for real-time interactions. Discord+Wiki seems to hit the forum from both sides.

That doesn't work because nobody will search the wiki when chat is around, and it might be outdated so people will ask anyway "just in case".

sounds like a Wiki problem. Maybe we should instead ask why people feel wikis are always outdated?

Because it's probably something sucky like Confluence, and because people go back to work instead of editing the wiki to help the next person once they find the answer.
